British Airways pilots’ union calls off Sept 27 strike
A proposed strike by British Airways pilots for Sept 27 has been called off by the pilots’ union, giving the airline a new set of problems. The strike was to be the third day of industrial action between the BALPA and the carrier over pay and conditions. BA has offered pilots an 11.5% pay increase over the next 3 years, which has been rejected by the flightdeck workforce. The 2 previous strike days, Sept 9 and 10, saw BA cancelling virtually all its 850 daily flights. BA had already begun the process of telling passengers their booked flights Sept. 27 will not go ahead. There is now likely to be confusion among passengers as to whether their flights will be reinstated. BALPA said it had called off the latest walkout after the two previous strike days “demonstrated the anger and resolve of pilots.” <br/>
